Town Events

In keeping with the Chamber’s mission of “Connecting The Community With Commerce” this Calendar was created to allow member businesses and New Canaan based non-profits to promote their upcoming events to the public. The Community Calendar is a local resource for all residents and visitors and has quickly become one of the most visited pages on the site. Events can be submitted via the link below and will be reviewed and posted within 24-48 hours.SUBMIT AN EVENT

All are welcome at the opening reception for the Carriage Barn Arts Center’s annual member show. This exhibit kicks off the 2019/20 season and celebrates the range, interests, and talents of artist members working across all subjects, styles, and media. Artwork is for sale and one piece will be awarded the Betty Barker Award and a $250 prize. The award was established in 2017 in honor of Betty Barker (1920-1997), a prolific and accomplished artist who was the driving force in establishing the Carriage Barn Arts Center.

The 2019 member show coincides with the Carriage Barn’s “Living With Art” series of workshops, activities, artist talks and other special events. Three exhibiting members will be selected to participate in an art and design-themed panel discussion with award-winning designer Chris Roughan of Roughan Interiors on September 18.
